An intriguing aspect of an Asian perception of space is that the mind becomes a vital instrument in constructing and containing place. Developed through the patina of program, a space becomes richer and more layered when activity happens in it, when a humanizing element is introduced. Utilizing the flagging tape installations as moments in the environment, a void is activated and patina is cultivated within the space. Observed installations provide experiences for the viewers that, depending on their level of engagement, produce different meanings and attachments. Once removed, a lingering residue of the form remains, the “retina burn”, forever transforming the site in the mind of those who experience it. An invisible sense of solidity in a visual void, the installations create a virtual sense of space.
